The heroic stand is admirable, but I wish Zelensky would get out [View all]

If there's still a chance and Kyiv isn't totally encircled, I root for Zelensky to get out of the country, while he can. The heroic stand is stirring, but if they're committed to it, Russia capturing Kyiv and the country is inevitable. They're a superpower with massive reserves and expertise, who have been prepping for this for many years. It's like Mike Tyson knocking out an 8 year old.

Zelensky would have enormous value as the legitimate democratically elected leader in exile abroad. As time goes by, Russia's position will weaken and forces will coalesce behind Zelensky as the rightful leader to be restored. That's why, given the chance, the Russians will probably kill him and he should get out and not give them that chance.
